The Stand-Crafted Approach

Editor Chris Ryan writes, “Once an owner opts to go with a pour-over program, the decision of what that pour-over should look like is an important one. At Columbus, Ohio-based roaster-retailer Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea, the pour-over stand is a vessel for creativity. The company’s stands are designed by Crimson Cup coffee and training specialist Brandon Bir, who is also a veteran woodworker. Bir talked to Fresh Cup about his approach to building a memorable pour-over stand, how unique wood and other design elements can help a shop differentiate itself, and more.”
